Hello my lovely readers...

That unmarked present under the tree, the one wayyyyyy in the back, that's for me right? Y'all saved me a place at the dinner table, right? In the corner, right? Oh, and make sure I get some of the white meat. 'Cuz I don't like turkey like that anyway, but if I must eat it I'ma only eat the white meat.

Nah, lemme stop...

I want to thank all of you who have stopped by, visited, read, sent me emails, and left comments all throughout the year.

In celebration of our first Christmas together I'm posting some of my favorite Christmas music.

Enjoy.

Have a wonderful day and a Merry and Blessed Christmas with your family and friends. Hopefully you're not stuck at work like me... ugh! I'm so over this.

-Adam

Someone who characterizes himself as "The Answer Man" left this in response to yesterday's blog post "Maybe It's Just Me...":

Dearheart,
It is possible you are projecting your needs onto them when they are merely being friendly. What you perceive as flirtation may simply be polite conversation in their mind.

From reading your blog it does appear you see men in very distinct categories--"a piece", cuddle buddy, hook-up, etc. Is there no place in your easy compartmentalization of your relationships for someone who is just a friend? Or must everyone be either a potential fuck or a past fuck?

Instead of asking what's wrong with other men, you might take a look in the mirror.

I know that a lot of people read the blog and enjoy it and that's great. I love to hear that, but a reader of this blog has taken that enjoyment to another level.

I wrote a blog post not too long ago entitled: "My 7 Lessons I Learned In '07" or something like that. Well this person copied my post word for word, my specific life experiences and all. Wherever I mentioned my name, he took my name out of it, put his name in and pawned it off as something he had written and posted it on FaceBook. People were on there giving him kudos and congratulating him on his growth when little did they know he stole the whole thing. Now I don't mind people redistributing my stuff, that happens pretty often, but give credit where credit is due and certainly don't try and pass my life experiences off as your own.

I was shown this by another reader of the blog from Washington, DC who is a FaceBook friend of this person. Reading that thing actually was a little scary, like I was in "The Twilight Zone" or somethin'. It was very spooky, almost stalker-ish. I'm sleeping with one eye open tonight.

I did confront the person about this via MySpace, let's see what kind of reply I get back.

Stay tuned...
